Oil characteristics

Multi-weight oil conforming to VW standard 501 01 has
following characteristics:

All-season use in moderate climate zones.

Excellent cleansing properties.

Secure lubrication properties at all engine temperatures
and load conditions.

High resistance to aging.

Multi-weight light duty oil conforming to VW standard
500 00 furthermore include following characteristics:

All-season use in almost every possible outside
temperature.

Decreases friction loss in engine.

Best possible cold start properties. even at veru low
temperatures.

Multi-weight light duty oil conforming to VW standard
502 00:

This oil is suitable for gasoline engines, conforms to VW
standard 501 00. 505 00. as well as 500 00. furthermore,

for use in extreme operating conditions, e.g. difficult road
conditions, predominant use of trailer. abundance of uphill
driving, and driving in hot climate zones.

Note:

Single-grade oils are generally not used all year round
because of their limited viscosity range. Therefore, these
oils should only be used in extreme climate zones.

When using multi-weight oil SAE 5W-30, continuous high
engine speeds and constant strong load must be avoided.
This restriction does not apply to multi-weight light duty oils.
